Overview
Daniel made tonkatsu by substituting pork belly slices for pork chops and creating handmade breadcrumbs from sun-dried torn toast.
After frying the breaded pork slice, Daniel discovered it was still pink in the center and returned it to the pan with soy sauce and sesame oil, resulting in a dish that tasted like pork with soy sauce.
